Sanitary Effects of Rain.

Frequent and moderate rain, such as con

agencies. 1t eleanses the ground, and
what is far more important, it cleanses the

A correspondent of an exchange says
upon this subject: 1t is fire. quently recon-
mended to plant trees alo W the line of
the fences, that when the Il ees have at
tanned sufficient size their tr INKS aay be
used as posts Thus live posts, that will
not rot, are had, already sec, srely set, at
the cost of setting out the trees snlY. But

ened 10 the tree. One of our u 'estefn
subscribers has discovered that VIII, Vi tie
willow is planted this objection is avo ided
for the top of the willow can be kent cat
down so closely that the trunk will be
swayed little, if any. The tree should oi
be used as post until the trunk attaine d
a diameter of six inches foot from the :
ground, and even when it reached
this size, the tree may be cut off five |
feet from the ground, making a post |
Of the desired hight without killing |
the tree. Such cutting off would be |
fatal 10 any other tree that could be used |
for this purpose; but the willow |

wind will not loosen the staples. The |
branches cut of make good bean-poles. or |

the housewife wishes during the summer. /
Other points in favor of the willow for |
live fence posts are the ease with which it |
can be got to grow, and the rapidity of its |
growth. If slips are stuck into the ground t
in the spring, when the ground is moist, |
they will at once root and grow. Where |
fence-posts are scarce, this use of the viii |
low can be confidently recommended. and |
likely twill pay to so use the willow even
where posts are cheap. The willow is
slow to die and viii make firm pos. for |
many years.

country extends for from IA to 80

North Anaheim and Placentia country
on the north. Here the new town OF
Fullerton is gong up at a marvellous
pace. 1t has hotel, great many
fine residences, and these are being

richest grain, fruit and dairy district
in the State. All about vines, oranges,
nuts, and all the citrus, deciduous,

perfection. There is railroad to An

all the elements OF prosperous place.
Remember the boom his just begun

Tomorrow evening Miss Margaret
Mather will open at the Grand Opera
House. The first night is to be
devoted to Romeo and Juliet. The
first night will be bumper
and no mistake. Miss Mather
made ten-strike here last

Charming play Of the immortal bard
The first-nighters will be out in force
to hail her reappearance. Such an
array of fashion, beauty and culture
has rarely been gathered in the Grand
as will dazzle the eye tomorrow night.
The support is all that could be de-
sired. embracing Paulding, Levick
Hills. Morton the "Apothecary,''
whose makeup and shop will be a
study in The real hard to equal. The
concourse of people on the stage will
form a crush. The banquet scene will
be superb.
But much more than the support Of
these capable actors lends value to the
presentation. Manager j. M. Hill has
provided accessories Of costume and
scenery most lavishly, and the stage
settings will be as elaborate as any
ever put upon the local boards. A de-
tailed description of the scenery would
be impossible in the space allowed
but synopsis may be given in few
words: Act |, Scene l, represents a
street and market in Verona, where
occurs the conflict between the re-
lainers of the houses of Capulet
and Montague-painted by Voegllin ;
Scene 2 presents the approach
to Capulet's mansion also by
Voegtlin; scene is the ballroom of
the mansion, a very rich Florentine
interior-by Hughson Hawley. Act
H., scene l, is the exterior of the
Capulet garden, which is transformed
(scene y to the interior garden or
balcony scene-both by Voegtlin. In
Act ILL.,, tavern scene revolves, dis
closing the alcove in outlets" gar
den, with practical house and foun-
tain by an ingenious curtain device,
this is transformed into the cell and
cloisters of the "Friar"--the whole by
Voegtlin. Act Nv. has five scenes,
the first exterior, the others interior
all by Voegtiin save the last,
''Juliet's" chamber, q most artistic
bit OF colo,ing by George Heineman.
In the last act the chief work is the
tomb scene, by William Schafer, q
more cheerful interior than is gener-
ally portrayed, but histo ically cor
rect. All of. these sixteen canvasses
have been especially designed for
Manager Hill's production, and they
furnish the most sumptuous setting
ever given the tragedy.
